FHMum, you could be a governor. Schools need people with ambition and drive like you are showing.

I don't mean any disrespect to you personally for what you are doing- its very admirable but I do share the reservations about this governments education proposals for the reasons given above and for those reasons I would not welcome a free school in my locality and the very thought of a potentially two tier system at primary level fills me with dread. These schools will no doubt be given money at the expense of other less 'interesting' and headline grabbing schools and that is simply not fair on the majority of children.
